- Installation:
Boot → No parameter was need. Just try huge.s and set vga=791 to get a better fb.
- LAN:
Works fine. The system recognized at boot time. It's the r8169 module.
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
- WLAN:
It's a new chip from realtek. Even the kernel 2.6.35.4 don't have support. I found the driver at realtek official site: RTL8191SE-VA2 driver
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)
- Sound:
Recognized by the system, however, at some times, the sound crash. I'm still searching about this error.
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
- Power management / ACPI:
- Batery status → works fine.
- Display brightness → works giddily. I'm still searching about this question.
- To get a better temperature in CPU's, up the power_meter module. This driver exposes ACPI 4.0 power meters as hardware monitoring devices.
- X:
The video have a problem when work with OpenGL composite,.
The problem occurs when the i915_drm try to allocate more memory :
Sep 9 01:00:14 albino kernel: [14224.803423] [drm:i915_gem_do_execbuffer] *ERROR* Failed to pin buffer 29 of 98, total 8933376 bytes, 0 fences: -9).
I found two solutions:
1 - Change the composite type to XRender (poor performance)
2 - Update libdrm (2.4.20 to 2.4.21) and xf86-video-intel (2.11.0 to 2.12.0).
I created txz packages to update my system. I'll upload this files soon.
- Touchpad:
Works fine.
- Keyboard:
Special keys don't work. I'm still searching about this.
I'll write a post about the X problem soon.
Well, with this post, I tryed help someone to put your toshiba system to run Slackware. I hope so.
